Discovery Hub Exploratory Search Engine

Keyword: Search Engine

Functional Description

Discovery Hub is an exploratory search engine built on top of linked data sources and, in particular, DBpedia. The exploratory search is a new way to search the web to find new topics the users were not aware of but which may be interesting for them. It allows users performing queries in an innovative way and helps them navigate rich results. As a hub, it proposes redirections to others platforms to let users benefit from their discoveries. It relies on an extension of spreading activation algorithms over linked data to recommend and explain results.
